I get you think that's really clever. In fact, you highlight your ignorance.
A "well regulated" militia referred to the fact that the states would appoint officers for the militia. The second regulation was that all able bodied men in the state were required to keep and maintain arms, such as to be always able to call forth a militia on an instant's notice.
Here's a better question: How has the very obvious and well documented context of the second amendment, and the founding fathers' clear intentions become forgotten? How as "everybody NEEDS a gun because you can't trust the government" been twisted into "you don't really need a gun because you can trust the government"?
